I know a looooot of people who are just waiting for the PC release.The PC version of Remake had pretty pathetic sales. Can't be that many. Besides, this is comparing PS4-only sales to PS5-only sales, since it's launch window for both.
+ not everyone satisfied with Remake
FF also has like 0 market penetration among younger audiences I've noticed. It's unfortunately become a boomer series.

The action rpg thing has run its course.
In Japan software sales are higher on PC than PS5 and even the install base seems to be catching up.This is not true for multiplatform releases and never has been. More people in general are playing PC games (since it's a broader audience, with people playing casual games and such), but AAA games like Elden Ring sell way more on PS5 than PC in Japan.
You cant make games like this for Switch without making significant downgrades to make it work either though. Switch is like 8 years old now and something that looks as good as Rebirth wouldve needed massive cuts and basically a brand new version to even be playable on the device. Probably wouldve cost a lot of money to make it work.
I think it is just the PS5 base and the fact that some people still think its hard to get
XVI was the fastest selling PS5 game at the time of its release and it is considered underwhelming
Spider-Man 2 sold over 10 million and it is just about breaking even
A lot of people are probably waiting for the triple pack. Also does this include the twin pack sales? Because those two were counted separately as far as I'm aware.Twin pack sales are counted separately.
Honestly FF7 Remake has been everything I've wanted from it. I still haven't finished Rebirth, but I have had 0 disappointments so far.
Twin pack sales are counted separately.What, really? The twin pack cost the same on PSN at launch. I got it just to free Intergrade from PS+ dependency.
Morrowind came out and was the warning sign Final Fantasy needed to figure things out fast or be left in the dust.
Then Oblivion happened years before Final Fantasy figured anything out.
Then Skyrim happened and Final Fantasy still hadn't figured anything out.
XIV-excluded, of course.
We just wanted 7 with better graphics and QOL upgrades, like the pixel remasters of 1-6. Thats it.
I legitimately cannot understand the "we just want a faithful remake that's the whole game at once" crowd
It'd be one thing if it was three 20 hour games that they made you pay $70 each for, but you're really getting three extremely high quality complete experiences.
Anyway, everyone who hasn't bought this should definitely buy it if they have a PS5 because it's honestly the best gaming experience I've had in a long while.
